I can't believe what I saw this morning. A man out with a young lab puppy, I'd say only a few weeks old and I'm guessing a "Christmas Puppy" , walking with it off lead on the pavement beside a busy road.
When he wanted to cross the road he picked the pup up and carried it across, then dumped it down on the pavement on the other side and walked off expecting the pup to follow. Not only didn't he have a lead, the pup didn't even have a collar on :angry: I was the other side of the road with quite a lot of traffic between us, I couldn't get close enough to say anything and by the time I'd managed to cross he'd gone.
I'm actually pretty sure I recognise the bloke, and if I'm right the poor pup doesn't stand a chance anyway in that household (remember Winston, the blind, matted Beddy left to roam I posted about here? - same family). His best bet will be if they tire of him sooner rather than later. Gawd why do these people have dogs :rant:
